Just now the phone rang without an answer for several minutes before I hung up. But when the Doctor is with his patients, he's excellent for the most part. I think, because he's seen and heard it all, sometimes he comes across as distant, but I believe his heart is in the right place. I wonder if just having another doctor on staff might not make a huge positive difference for both Dr Jantzen and the clinic's clients & patients. Meanwhile, the location is great, the huge trees providing shade in the roomy lot make parking less stressful and help keep vehicles cool in summer, and the helper staff always seem well trained and empathetic. There are few vets in the area, and each one is precious. This clinic is an essential Las Vegas service.

I avoid going to PetSmart, although I have two dogs and would like to buy there, but the thing is,…read morethe associates are rude. Today, knowing there was an adoption event there, my daughter asked me to go because we are thinking about getting another dog. I needed to use the bathroom, but, as we know, PetSmart thinks it is a big deal to have a bathroom there. It is locked, and we have to find an employee to open the door. But they get upset when someone needs to use their bathroom because it means they have to stop what they are doing - and they don't hide their feelings. So, there was an employee (it was a big Hispanic lady) at the cat enclosure helping two ladies. She asked me to wait a second, but after talking to the ladies, she told them she was going to the register to get their change. I asked if she could open the bathroom before doing it, but she refused. The bathroom was only a few steps away; it would take about 10 seconds total, but since she was doing me this enormous favor, she took her sweet time coming back and took another sweet time talking to the ladies who had to remind her I needed to use the bathroom (they noticed she was making me wait on purpose). That employee was extremely rude. The way she talked to me and acted was really disappointing and mean. She was nice to the ladies, but since I have an accent, I didn't get the same treatment. Racism and discrimination are consequences of ignorance and poor training at work.

She told me she was and that I needed to give her extra time. At this point I should have taken my dog and left. Issue #4: I asked how they would contact me to let me know my dog was ready, she said text. SHE DID NOT TEXT ME. She emailed me. Which caused all sorts of trouble in my schedule. When I called (waited 15 min for someone to answer the phone) they said he had been ready an hour and I had to pick him up right away. It put me in a huge bind. It they would have text me, like they said they would I wouldn't be in that predicament. Issue #5: she told me if she was going to have to shave him, she would call me first. SHE DID NOT! She shaved him all the way down. Issue #6: HE DID NOT NEED TO BE SHAVED! HE WAS NOT MATTED! I was wash my dog regularly and know he just needed to be brushed. Issue #7: She was extremely unfriendly and I had to spray my dog down with sanitizer after. I do not recommend Petsmart for grooming.

But Chile, adopted at 6 months old, was none of those things, due to her isolation from everything until then. Enter Jane Gerard, who has studied the science of animal behavior for many years. Jane has moved Chile form a muzzle wearing, terrified pup to a wonderful companion, a very happy dog that has traveled so far with reinforcement based training. That said, she has changed my relationship with my dog, too. Because I now understand what drives her behavior, I have learned how to address it positively. It brings both of us much joy. Her muzzle hangs in a closet now. We work at Chile's pace and I love every minute of watching her progress and mine, as well. I am not my dog's master or boss - we're partners who trust each other and know each other. Thank you, Jane!

Staff are super attentive and nice, know my dogs Luna and Moody, take great care of them, they're always happy to go in, just waltz right in. Also good seeing consistent staff, same faces which was not the case at the previous place we used. It's all indoor, separated by weight which is also one of the best parts of Aries. Currently only open Tuesday through Friday likely due to staffing. Wish they were open more days! They are a little more expensive than the previous place we used, but worth it. Kong meal/snack is extra or included however you wanna look at it. They do have packages to bring the cost down, pay more up front for multiple days. I think comes out to about $27 a day with the package. They do have an extensive weeding out process which is good because it ensures only quality dogs are there, make sure they get along with other dogs, do ok in the kennel for a period of time. They also require vaccinations and tick/flea prevention. Notes I took when considering them v. Others: * Fecal exam giardia, parasites and coccidia within last 6-8 months * Flea and tick treatment, natural essential oils too ok * Intro 15 min then 1 hr later day free, T-F 830-1030 or 130-330 * hours: 7-1115, crate till 1245, back out till 415 then crated until end of day 6 * $1 per meal regardless if bring food or not * All indoor * No vet on call but has set up with vet nearby * No overnight * Grooming $45-55 * Walk in daycare * $30 full day * Buy 9 get 1 free or buy 17 get 3 free non-refundable Hope this helps other neurotic pet parents like me! We love Aries and am glad they exist for our pups! Especially love the staff! Thank you!
